The HFA/HCA line of 3.5kW output AC-DC power supply units for 3-phase applications from COSEL will now use ROHM’s EcoSiC products, which include SiC MOSFETs and SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs). Up to 94% efficiency is achieved by integrating ROHM SiC MOSFETs and SiC SBDs into the forced air-cooled HFA series and conduction-cooled HCA series. While the HFA series started mass production in 2024, the HCA series has been in production since 2023.
In contrast to single-phase power supplies used in homes, 3-phase power supplies are necessary for many industrial applications that handle high power, such as CO2 lasers and MRI equipment.
With ROHM’s EcoSiC technology, which thrives in high-temperature, high-frequency, and high-voltage settings, COSEL’s AC-DC power supply units are compatible with 3-phase power supplies ranging from 200VAC to 480VAC, improving power supply efficiency across a broad spectrum of industrial equipment globally.
Key Comments
Jun Uchida, General Manager, New Product Development Dept. 2, COSEL Co., Ltd.
“The HFA/HCA series achieve high efficiency despite delivering a high-power output of 3.5kW by incorporating ROHM’s low-loss SiC power devices. Operating at high input voltages typically poses a challenge in reducing losses in high-voltage power devices, but using SiC power devices translates to significantly lower losses compared to conventional solutions, resulting in power supplies that maintains high efficiency and power density even under demanding high-power conditions.”
Akihiro Hikasa, Group General Manager, Power Devices Business Unit, SiC Business Section, ROHM Co., Ltd.
“We are delighted to support COSEL, an industry leader in power supply systems, by providing SiC power devices. A leading company in SiC power devices, ROHM also provides comprehensive power solutions that combine peripheral components. In addition, by addressing customer issues, we also improve device performance by incorporating the insights gained into our products. Going forward, we will continue to collaborate with COSEL to contribute to a sustainable society by enhancing the efficiency of industrial equipment that handle large amounts of power.”
